Abstract

A device and method for performing inter-device communication are disclosed. An inter-device communication method of a first device includes searching for a second device supporting inter-device communication, receiving network information from the searched second device, and determining that one of the first and second devices is a group owner based on the received network information of the second device and network information of the first device. The network information includes at least one selected from among type information indicating a server device or a client device, network support information, network necessity information, and network setting information.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 702,255, filed on Sep. 18, 2012, and also claims the benefit of earlier filing date and right of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0103107 filed on Aug. 29, 2013, the contents of which are all hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to inter-device communication and, more particularly, to a device and method for performing communication using Wi-Fi Direct.[0004]2. Discussion of the Related Art[0005]Inter-device communication may include Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, and Zigbee. Wi-Fi is a wireless local area network (LAN). Wi-Fi is a communication network which enables users to access ultra high speed Internet in the vicinity of an access point (AP). Wi-Fi Direct is a new version of existing Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Direct is a communication technology for wirele...
